Why is it perfectly normal to bother people that smoke? But its considered wrong to bother obese people about their weight? No I don’t condone smoking nor do I feel need to force them to quit. In 2004, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked obesity as the number one health risk facing America. It is even come to point were the new generation is going to instead of increasing life expectancy, is going to decrease. Obesity currently results in an estimated 400,000 deaths a year in the United States. All im saying is that if your going to crackdown on health issues why is that you feel need to stop after smoking? Just pisses me off when people look at smokers like their second class people. I personal careless if your obese or a smoker just don’t say one thing is bad and another isn’t. Note obese is not the same as overweight.
